Gravity Falls!

just got told about it today and I downloaded the first episode and holy crap I have a new show to be obsessed with, first off lets get this over with, it is a disney show but honestly its nothing like anything they've made recently its more like the stuff they've been putting out on cartoon network (like adventure time and the regular show).

Wired described it as an animated series that combines the warm family element Phineas and Ferb and outlandish characterization of Adventure Time with the snowballing conspiracies of theX-Files and Twin Peaks patently surreal setting.

it's really good. I've sadly lost track a couple of episodes past the Halloween one, but I'm just hoping I didn't miss much and that they're making a second season. it's definitely one of my favorite things on TV.

Its amazing, I am in love with this show. I feel like cartoons went through a really bad patch but now there killing it. I also love the fact that were moving away from the trend of doing complete resets, e.g normally when an episode ends everything goes back to the status quo so you can basically watch any episode in any order and it doesnt matter.

These shows arent a clean break but they make call backs to earlier episodes, like in the wax dummy episode the S falls off the mystery shack roof and it stays off for the rest of the episode.

And thats happening because they know people watch shows in bulk more than they do on an episode basis.

So I'm on episode 11 and the series really seems to hit its stride from episode 8 onwards, in a strange way its kind of like community in the sense that its starting to do themed episodes and its filled with pop cultural references also the level of detail is amazing.

Apparently there are hidden codes in the credits you can translate.

The voice talent in the show is amazing, I cant believe they atcually got Larry King and coolio to be in an episode (the same one), I'm really hoping it gets a second season.
